James Holmes -- the shooter in the Aurora movie theater massacre -- was hospitalized after several "half-hearted" suicide attempts ... this according to law enforcement.
According to cops, Holmes ran headfirst into a jail cell wall on Tuesday ... and while he sustained injuries ... they were not life-threatening.
Holmes also reportedly stood on the bed in his cell and fell backwards ... in an apparent attempt to crack his skull open. He failed.
Holmes -- who killed 12 people and injured 58 more during his July 20 shooting rampage -- has since been released from the hospital.
If at first you don’t succeed ...

among the comments
--Do it. Get it over with. Move on. Save the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. PLEASE.
--Here's to hoping he gets better at it with more practice
--He finally saw himself in a mirror ?
--Why not allow this guy to off himself and save the taxpayers money for housing him for the remainder of his life.
...what a loser.
Here’s your rope Mr.Murderer, fresh and clean from the
drycleaners in a nice plastic bag...
Come on, some nice person at least give him some
shoelaces.
Wikipedia on James Eagan Holmes:
>>Holmes’ lawyers filed an emergency motion on November 14, 2012 to delay a pre-trial hearing, citing an unspecified condition that has left him unable to appear in court. “As a result of developments over the past 24 hours, Mr. Holmes is in a condition that renders him unable to be present in court for tomorrow’s hearing,” They requested to delay the hearing, which they received. It was rescheduled for December. Evidently, Holmes made various suicide attempts referred to as “half-hearted” in days before the scheduled hearing on November 15.
Practice makes perfect.
The reason they don’t put toilet seats on a commode is to stop prisoners from beating themselves on the head to death.
Gonna need a taller bed.
A typical product of public education, prozac, and a college liberal arts degree.
Wasn’t he a Phd. candidate, too?
He sent a boy to do a man’s job.
Give him a rope!
and they take away shoelaces etc
Neuroscience is a liberal art?
Tonight Obama will endorse the outlawing of jail cells.
He needs help........any volunteers?................
I think the consensus is that he’s faking insanity. The photo and the feeble “suicide” attempts don’t help.
Give him some rope.
That was post-graduate. I don’t know what his B.S. degree was.
He failed at neuro.
“James...next time, think vertical rather than horizontal. Remember, gravity is your friend.”
Why didn’t they give the worm some help?
He needs to be moved to the upper bunk.
They should have offered him help...... stronger rope for instance.... sharper razor blades...
he needs to be transferred to a larger cell with a longer runway
Cowardice on his part. Not sure if colorado has the death penalty, but if they do I’d like to see him tried, convicted, sentenced, and then have him helplessly watch the calendar count down to his execution date. I’m pretty sure he isn’t going to get anywhere on appeal.
The more I read about the shooting, the more I began to suspect there were other forces at work. This just adds to the pile of evidence, he’s acting like there’s something inside his skull that he can’t get rid of.
Just doing the drama queen thing.
You know, if he would just wait a bit there is going to be a new government program to assit with suicide. . .its called Obamacare.
This is the intellectual that had much promise? lol
He looks like Jared Loughner’s fellow drinking buddy.
Demons, perhaps.
You are assuming he has one.
They should install a videorecorder in his cell for this. Would be a Youtube chart-topper fer shurr.

LOL. Why include factual information when you can make up stuff to enable a boilerplate rant about the liberal arts?
Just in case you really don’t know, an undergraduate degree in neuroscience is not a liberal arts degree.
My BA in philosophy, now there’s a liberal arts degree.
Of course, I’ve never shot up a theatre full of people.
I’ve also never eaten at the public trough, never collected unemployment, never worked in the public sector and have been employed every day since I graduated from college in May of 1980.
why couldn’t the idiot killed himself first and there would be 12 more people aliove in colorado and 54 less injured people..
The guy is trying to show he is insane, bt I am not buying it.
All generalizations are false, including this one. Obviously.
I don’t see why FR members are SO F’IN sensitive!
Why must one take EVERYTHING personally??
As an engineer, I can only suggest a liberal like yourself reference positive feedback or catastrophic failure. It is OVER because of LIBERAL education and liberally “educated” people.
If the shoe fits, fine. If not, then DON’T TAKE EVERYTING PERSONALLY ! ! !
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph...
Can I send him some razor blades?
I dont see why FR members are SO FIN sensitive!
Why must one take EVERYTHING personally??

Pot, meet kettle.
Ok, here’s personal: DMZ is a Childish dip.
I’ve been here since 1995 and never met such a total schmuck as dmz.
